Kings XI Punjab

The Punjab-based franchise have had a mixed season, snatching a few games from the jaws of defeat. The bowlers have been in terrific form and so have the openers. Mayank Agarwal and Sarfaraz Khan have also fared well, while David Miller has done well in patches.
A close look at their campaign so far gives a clear indication for the need of proper finishers with the bat. While they have won games from difficult situations with the ball, they have done exactly the opposite with the bat. The openers as well as Agarwal have done well, but the others have not been able to close out games.
David Miller and Mandeep Singh have not been up to the expectations, and what KXIP need is for one of the top three to stay till the end. One of them, preferably KL Rahul, should look to play the anchor role and up the ante at the end.
The onslaught from Nicholas Pooran against RCB should give them some hope. Also, Ashwin can promote someone like Sam Curran or even himself into the middle order to provide some pinch hitting.
